It's nice as fans to have someone on the inside with sources, but leaking peoples personal business isn't anything we should theoretically celebrate someone for. So no need for Zim to get any glory or anything. He's just doing what media does and runs with incomplete information in the rush to be the "first"... It's lame and while we are happy with the news, we shouldn't ignore this out of control phenomenon in todays social media / media.

Besides I can tweet that the Burrow deal is done.... Matter of fact. I will say the Burrow deal is done. No glory in that. We all know it'll get done so in May or August when it's announced or official I won't expect any glory and I won't be quick to show receipts that I was the first to say it.

Just remember, when the Tee trade talks started heating up? Duke and Tee squashed it pretty quickly.

We kind of know that Burrow will sign one. But, it was unknown if Tee would.

Wouldn't be surprised if Burrow's has already been done behind the scenes and they're just waiting to announce it (not saying it is like this or  have a gut feeling: just that I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case).

With the draft 2 weeks away, we can play the waiting game until then, to occupy our time.
